World Creativity and Innovation Week

Anzac Day

May 4 - May 10, 2015: Why is Screen-Free Week important? Lots of families, schools and communities use this week to remind themselves to switch off screens and spend time together doing other things. As our lives become increasingly entangled with, and dependent on screens, I think it's vital to take regular stock of screen time. Find some ideas and activities at The Book Chook.
